1080 Dealing with the Silent Rippers(4)

"I understand… I will pay 300 million spirit stones…" Steward Jin said.

However, he was inwardly hoping for these assassins to be killed by Yuan so that he won't have to pay them this astronomical amount of money.

Naturally, the Lin Family could pay 300 million spirit stone if they wanted, but this deal between Steward Jin and the Silent Rippers was not part of the Lin Family's decision. Only he and Lin Minghai were involved in this scandal, and if their family learns of this, they could be punished, especially considering the recent commotion.

Therefore, if he had to pay 300 million spirit stones, he had to do so without the Lin Family's help.

After returning to the Lin Family, Steward Jin told Lin Minghai of the situation.

When the Young Master of the Lin Family heard this unpleasant news, his face turned as pale as clean bedsheets, almost as if his blood had been drained.

"How could this have happened! 300 million spirit stones?! Where the fuck are we going to get that kind of money without asking for my family for help?!" Lin Minghai exclaimed, his face and back soaked in cold sweat.

"I-If this Xiao Yang somehow manages to kill the rest of the Silent Rippers, we won't have to pay them…" Steward Jin said in a weak voice.

"Are you fucking stupid?! You think he can handle the Silent Rippers all by himself?!"

"I mean, he's already killed 18 of them." Steward Jin said, clinging onto hope.

"I don't know what trick he's used to defeat so many assassins, but it will not happen a second time! Furthermore, the entire organization will be there this time! He's doomed to die!" Lin Minghai said, mostly because he didn't want to believe that they had offended someone powerful enough to defeat the Silent Rippers.

"Anyways, I think the best course of action is to wait and see what happens." Steward Jin said.

"If we're left with no choice, we will have to ask your family for help. I believe they will be more angry if 3,000 people in their family die because of us."

Lin Minghai sighed, "We have no choice since we won't be able to pay 300 million spirit stones even if I sold all of my treasures."

Later that night, 83 assassins surrounded the Tian Family's household.

"They are here." Feng Yuxiang warned Tian Yanyu and the others when she noticed their presence.

"How many are there?" Tian Xianzu asked.

"83 people. All of them are Spirit Kings, and 11 of them are peak Spirit Kings." Xiao Hua calmly said.

"E-Eleven peak Spirit Kings?!" Old Zou almost fell unconscious from shock after hearing this information.

"You stay here and protect them, phoenix. Xiao Hua will go with Brother Yuan just in case."

"Huh? Why do I have to stay here with them? Can't you do it? Or are you trying to earn points by yourself?" Feng Yuxiang looked at her with a suspicious gaze.

"I can protect them by myself." Lan Yingying suddenly said, "Since they're mostly targeting Yuan, they won't pay any attention to us."

"Thank you." Feng Yuxiang said to her before leaving the room with Xiao Hua.

However, they didn't immediately go to Yuan. Instead, they hid their presence and watched the situation from afar, as they wouldn't be interfering with Yuan unless he needed help.

Meanwhile, Yuan was already waiting in the courtyard for the assassins, and he has been cultivating there for the past few days.

"That's the bastard that killed 18 of our brothers and sisters? He looks so young!" One of the assassins was shocked when he saw Yuan's appearance.

"Don't be fooled by his appearance! He's a peak Spirit King! And his appearance might even be fake!" The leader of the Silent Rippers said to them using divine sense.

The Silent Rippers did not immediately approach Yuan, and they assessed the situation and surroundings to make sure this wasn't a trap, as it looked like one.

Sometime later, Yuan opened his eyes and spoke in a calm voice, "How long are you guys going to make me wait? If you're worried that this might be a trap, don't worry, I don't need such tactics to deal with you lot."

A gentle breeze swept the courtyard the following moment, and 83 figures appeared out of thin air like ghosts, all of them surrounding Yuan, their bodies exuding intense killing intent.

"I don't know who you are, but congratulations. You're the first to push our Silent Rippers to the edge." A bulky middle-aged man spoke in a grim voice.

Yuan glanced at this man and smiled, "So you're the leader, huh?"

The leader frowned, "How can you tell?"

"It's not hard, especially considering that the atmosphere around you is vastly superior to the rest of the people here." 

"That's right. I am the leader of the Silent Rippers, Zhan Shichai! Remember my name when you go to hell."

Ahd he continued, "Any last words before we take care of you?"

Yuan nodded, "Just one. Is this really the last of you guys? I don't want to wait around for more of you after killing everyone here."

"KILL HIM!" Zhan Shichai suddenly roared, and the 83 assassins there launched their attack at Yuan.

BOOM!

The entire courtyard exploded, and the whole street trembled the following moment.

However, Yuan remained unscathed, which shocked the assassins.

"This isn't good." Yuan didn't want the assassins to blow up the whole residence, so he attacked the assassins aggressively.

Using his movement technique, he traveled from one assassin to another in a single step, and every time he brandished his sword, a life from the Silent Rippers would perish.

Within minutes, the courtyard became dyed in red from the assassins' blood with their corpses and body parts littered everywhere.

The Silent Rippers became more terrified of Yuan as time passed, and they quickly realized that they had messed with the wrong person, but alas, it was already too late for them to change their mind.
